Natural selection retains overrepresented out-of-frame stop codons against frameshift peptides in prokaryotes
BACKGROUND: Out-of-frame stop codons (OSCs) occur naturally in coding sequences of all organisms, providing a mechanism of early termination of translation in incorrect reading frame so that the metabolic cost associated with frameshift events can be reduced. Given such a functional significance, we...
